Nice words from one of the bloggers:

"

Keep in mind though that FastSCP is faster than WinSCP because FastSCP

doesn’t encrypt the data that is being copied. WinSCP does encrypt the

data and I consider WinSCP to be more secure than FastSCP. FastSCP does

use an SSH control channel though. An SSH control channel can best be

described as a secure channel which is used to pass user/password/port

information. In addition to the ports used for SSH other ports need to

be opened up for FastSCP to work, which increases the attack surface of

the ESX host. Some of you might have security policies in place, this

might be the time to start reading it.

"

Thus, you shouldtake into account the security policies from your organization nd make the right choice.
